I have a theory that people talking to each other more often in communities outside of /bant such as discord servers instead of on the board is why Jow Forums hasn't been at its best recently

how do you expect bant to compete when it doesn't have epic gamer loading screens?

yes but it could be narrowed down to good posters leaving/not posting as often + bad posters joining/posting more often

I suppose you're right in that this phenomenon is the root of it, but I think other things are important contributors

yeah there are probably some others, what else do you think contributes to it?.

well the entire concept of a board is a huge time expense
I think people just started leaving to tend to their lives, worsening the quality of the board, which then caused people to leave as the board wasn't worth their time, creating a downward spiral.
but I think we had the proper toolset to keep the board nice in spite of this before pepsibot decided to either make the board his bitch or make it unusable. That's another factor; I think too many people gave up on Jow Forums when pepsi found the spambot code. Those two combined, I think, cause people to seek other pastimes, which is the concept you described in OP.
